why won't kcup puncture at the bottom?
22205
Theres a small stationary pin at the top and another small pin on the bottom, where your K-cup go's, If you cannot see them both, Yours may be broken.

If you are using ribbed k-cups (Gevalia, for example) the pin may not puncture the bottom. The pin may simply push up on the bottom as the side of the cup simply expands. If this is the case, switch to a different cup style.

If it is a brand new brewer, and you are using k cups designed for Keurig, then I would say that you got a defective brewer. If you have had it for awhile, I would say that the bottom needle is broken. Like I say, this is all based on using the proper, flat bottomed k cups. I've know people to buy a rounded bottom type of k cup, and those won't work in a Keurig. Hope this helps

You have to remove the insert (Kcup holder), but be careful. Start where the two arrows meet by pulling up, work around the two like clips.

I have not found that to be an issue. You just have to tip it further over to get the last of the coffee strained through

It seems that this is stated in the Instruction. I remembered that I have tried to do so but only managed to complete around the bottom as the upper part of the wok is too rough.

I haven't had that problem but I also haven't had the puncture issue others have discussed in reviews. I'd definitely check the k cup to be sure it punctured all the way through.

I doubt it. It comes to a sharp point at the bottom. Every other coffee make I've seen has a flat bottom.

I've had the same problem. Bad design. The workaround that I've found is to close the top before putting the carafe in place. If you put the carafe in first and then close the top, it doesn't seem to work as well.

I own one of these. I also had this problem and read a review describing this problem= the hole in the bottom is too large, allowing the water to drain through before it can "steep" The other reviewer used one of those coffee stir straws inserted along the side into the hole to take up some room and make it drain slower. Possibly a skinny tip bamboo chopstick inserted would work, if you don't want to run all your coffee over a soft plastic straw.

Looking at the grinder count 7 notches from the left(coarse side) . Set it at the mark that is right below the letters o and r in the word "percolator" above .Don't know if it makes a difference but I also have the strength set at one notch to the strong side. I tried many types of grinds and this works absolutely the best .Also you might want to take a used "k" cup and empty it out removing the paper filter inside . Cut off the very top edge of the used "k"cup and insert it into the my kcup holder.Use three coffee scoops in the basket for a 10 ounce cup.Tap the basket on your counter to settle the coffee in the filter .Comes out Strong but not too strong. Then put your filter basket with the coffee into the holder ,screw on the top and you will have a great cup of coffee . The old cut down kcup can be used over and over again,just wash it with the rest of the parts.

There is about 1 inch around the bottom that is lower to catch drippings, otherwise there are no ridges.

There is a stop valve that is engaged when the coffee pot is not in place. Perhaps that valve is not properly pushed up when you put the coffee pot in its spot.

Make sure you plug the spout BEFORE you put any liquid into the cup. That way, no fat gets into the spout, that makes a world of difference between other separators

When you make the last cup of coffee shut it off, and drain out whatever water there's in the container, by not letting the water boil for the next cup it will not be in the tubes,if further questions you're free to write me, good luck

Make sure you press down firmly until you here a pop ensuring the cup is punctured.

I had this problem, too, until I realized I wasn't opening the spout completely. Try pushing down on the black push button on top until it's completely depressed, then pouring. I had no problems after that.

I had the same problem. You should be able to unscrew the lid. If not, use plyers. Then take a screwdriver amd just keep "stabbing" that flat part until you puncture it. All you need is a small hole. Hope that helps!

When you put the kcup in you need to make sure the holder for it is completely flat. That should help with the coffee grounds. For the smell, I would run some white vinegar through it and that should hopefully take care of it. The weakness depends on how much water you put in. I know you probably know all of this but this is all I know. I love mine.
